Son-In-Law: Become A Billionaire

Chapter 1

Noah wandered on the road. The weather outside has dropped five degrees. But Noah wore a simple outfit. He wore a thin T-shirt. The jeans were faded. The feet in the sandals were red from the cold.

Noah wandered the streets all the way. For five years, he has passed this road many times. Each brick and each tree line have been imprinted in the memory. After walking for a long time, Noah stopped in front of a fried chicken restaurant. He crouched in the window and looked at the crowd in the restaurant. There was the smile of a child, the fatigue of an adult, and the busy woman at the counter.

He stood there for a long time. The cold didn’t seem to affect Noah because he was used to suffering. The pocket of his pants vibrated, and his phone rang. An electric current ran straight through him, and Noah quickly took out his phone from his pocket. The phone screen displayed a familiar name.

“Wife.”

Noah hesitated for a few seconds, then pressed the answer. Immediately, on the other side of the phone, was the cold voice of a woman.

“I’m going on a business trip for a week.”

Noah didn’t have time to say another word. The other end was off. Noah looked at his phone and smiled suffering.

What did you expect from that cold woman?

Wake up, Noah.

He shook his head and continued to look inside the restaurant. He’s been here for too long. After Noah left, the woman in the restaurant looked outside. Her heart beat much faster than usual. But this feeling quickly disappeared.

“The payday is coming. This time I will buy Noah a warm coat.”

She smiled happily as she imagined her son wearing the warm coat she bought. Noah climbed onto a nearby bus. The bus went around the city. He looked out the car door and came to the riverbank. A strange force reminded him to get off the car. Noah thought nothing of it and got out of the car. He walked to the edge of the river. It was already five o’clock in the afternoon, but there were no people around the river.

Noah smiled wryly.

“What are you doing here? Are you going to commit suicide?”

Noah knew he didn’t have the courage to do it. He didn’t even dare to die. He bowed his head, his hands clenched tightly against the iron fence.

“Son, are you bored?”

An old voice sounded next to him. Noah looked to the side in surprise. He noticed someone standing next to him. The speaker was an old man. He was dressed in tattered old clothes, and on his head was a wide- brimmed hat that covered his face. In this style, if it’s not crazy, he is also a homeless man. Or maybe both.

Noah politely smiled and greeted softly. He didn’t have time to talk nonsense with strangers. He just has to go home. It seemed that Noah’s mind could read. The old man sat down on the ground and pulled out two cans of beer from the tattered sack beside him. He put a can down next to Noah’s feet. And the old man quickly opened his beer can. Noah looked at the old man happily drinking beer. Look at the beer at his feet. Well, if he goes home now, he must hear the curse words. Stay here, come home later, still get scolded. It’s no different. Still curses. Anyway, Lucy wasn’t at home.

The old man watched Noah open the beer can. The old man laughed.

“Why don’t you come back?”

Noah shook his head.

“Sooner or later, equally. Stay and have a beer.”

The old man heard Noah say this and burst into laughter.

“Very true. As soon as I saw you, I knew we were destined.”

Noah scoffed.

“Fate really knows how to make fun of people. Fate? Between a homeless and a loser?”

“You are too young to be self-deprecating. If you fail, start over. If you encounter difficulties, grit your teeth and overcome them. When I was young, I also failed many times. Meet enough disdain in society. Finally, I succeeded. People live in this world, do not give up.”

The old man patted Noah’s shoulder. His head tilted back, and he drained the beer can in one gulp. Laughter echoed in the sky. In the eyes of Noah, this old man was no longer a homeless man. He was arrogant and successful. He despised the world. Noah shook his head.

What are you thinking?

This old man is just a homeless man who likes to brag.

“Thanks for your kindness. But I don’t see any bright future ahead.”

This year he is also twenty-seven. His life is still a mess. The alcohol level of the beer was not strong, but it made his mind dizzy. When he was drunk, he felt even more resentful. He held his head with both hands. What an incompetent guy.

“Damn it. I’ll always be a loser.”

The old man just smiled and took another beer can from his pocket.

“Failure? Tell me about your life.”

Noah laughed, and he fell to the ground. The cold seeps into the intestines. But the drunkenness and resentment made his body heat up.

“My family is an ordinary family like any other. I have a beautiful and gentle mother. My father is also a wonderful man. But five years ago, while I was still in school, my father passed away. He left behind a pile of debt. The amount of debt was so great that I worked all my life... no... my children and grandchildren won’t pay it off. I don’t know why my dad debt to those gangsters. They wanted to kill my mother and me. At that time, the owner of the Noble family. Do you know that family? The richest family in this city. He wanted me to marry his niece and stay in- law. I don’t know his purpose. But I had to agree.”

That period was the darkest hell for Noah. He hasn’t graduated from college yet. But his sky has completely fallen. Every night, when Noah closed his eyes, he was so scared. Noah was afraid that he would not see the sunrise. Noble’s offer was his lifesaver. Whatever the purpose, he agreed.

“I have been married for five years. My life is just like a slave in the Noble family. I’m not even the dog that lives in their house.”

He lived in a shabby wooden house in the garden a short distance from the main house. Every day, I have to get up early and sleep late. Do all the work. Not only that, but he also suffered from the contemptuous eyes and beatings of the Noble family. Even the servants looked down on him.

“What do you marry their family’s daughter for? Dog? The servant? Ridiculous.”

The old man asked confused. This is also something that Noah wondered, but he did not have the answer. Noah shook his head in dismay.

“I don’t know. After Lucy and I got married. The next day, old Noble passed away suddenly. Because of that, I was cursed by the entire Noble family. They probably think that I bring bad luck to their family. I wanted to find a job, but I was disturbed by their descendants. They even quarreled with my biological mother. I could do nothing but obey. I became a useless person living off my wife’s house. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to live.”

He must return. The old man looked up at Noah for a moment before he left. At this time, Noah saw the old man’s eyes. It was a pair of extremely bright eyes. In those eyes, Noah saw the galaxy. The old man rummaged through his pocket. It took the longest time before he took out a small Rubik’s Cube from his pocket.

“This gift will help you. Please be careful.”

After saying that, the old man got up, cleaned up the pile of trash he had just laid out, and quickly ran away. Speed is too fast. Noah looked on in surprise. He looked at the coin-sized Rubik’s cube and quietly put it in the bag. Think of it as a gift from a stranger. Noah got on the last bus home. From the shore of the river to the house, Noah walked for an hour. It was seven o’clock when he entered the house. The lights in the house are on. Loud laughter. But Noah just felt suffocated. He will return to his small house. Today Lucy didn’t come home. He didn’t want to step foot in the big house.

“Dogs also have a conscious mind to know the way back.”

With the arrogant, mocking laughter and incomparably harsh voice. Noah didn’t need to look to know who it was. He never wanted to talk to this person.

“I am talking to you. Deaf?”

Fred ran up to Noah angrily and grabbed his collar. Noah turned his head to the side with a disgusted expression. He doesn’t want to talk to or have any contact with this person.

“Who are you pretending to be pitiful for here? Lucy was not at home. No one is watching you act. Today, being told a few words, you ran away from home and refused to do housework. Are you waiting for Lucy to come and protect you?”

Fred pushed so hard that Noah fell to the ground. Because Noah wears thin clothes in cold temperatures. He’s still drunk. Noah’s body was thin and weak. Fred kicked Noah. Noah was used to these actions of Fred.

“Like a dog. You and your mother are like parasites. Go die. Go die for fresh air. Trash of society. Your face makes me nauseous.”

Fred spat his dirty saliva at Noah. Noah gritted his teeth. Drunk yeast stimulates his nerves. Fred’s grumpy face and cruel words pierced Noah’s heart like a knife.

Noah wanted to kill people.

Noah hates himself. Fred insults him because he is weak. Noah doesn’t want to suffer anymore.

Noah staggered to his feet. He looked at Fred with hateful eyes. His face was covered in mud, but his eyes were red, like a bloodthirsty beast.

“Fuck you. I am going to risk my life to kill you.”
